Goals of the Program:

The Nature of Science and Science ProcessesThe Relationship between Science and TechnologyScience, Technology and Society (STS)

Together these approaches are designed to develop the student's critical thinking skills. They learn to identify
scientific questions, technological problems and STS issues recognising the underlying assumptions of each. They
will develop the ability to identify and gather data, make inferences and draw conclusions from this data. They
are encouraged to assess issues from various viewpoints and evaluate evidence on specific issues.
